    Not only did this chapel a devastating fire centuries ago, it also was undamaged during the 9/11 attacks. Inspirational to walk through this building of quiet and peace in the midst of a noisy and always busy city.

    Financial District
    At the southernmost tip of Manhattan, the Financial
    District is where New York City began as a center of
    commerce. Today, the historic streets and beautiful
    setting are complemented by museums, countless
    skyscrapers, and the heart of the Financial District,
    home to Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange.
